We just put my 80 year old mother on a ungodly early hour flight to see her brother who is ill. Because she is reliant on wheelchairs and airport attendants, we like to keep an eye out for flight delays that may make it harder for her to make her connections.

Enter FlightAware - an amazing website that allows you to track real time your flight, whether the destination airport has weather delays, and even more importantly whether your inbound or connecting flight is delayed.
